Unlike typical websites, you can’t just go to any SharePoint site, register, create an account, and become a site member. It is the responsibility of the site owner to define who the PMIS site members are and to either provide or deny site access to users who request it.
In addition, through site permissions, the site owner specifies the type of access that site members have, including which content site members can view and which actions they can perform within the site. SharePoint comes with default site permission levels:
- Full control
By default, the site owner has this permission. Any user with full control can add, update, and delete site components, site members, and list content.
- Design
This permission level allows users to customize pages, as well as to add, update, and delete list and library content.
- Contribute
This is the most common type of permission granted to project stakeholders. Users with this permission level can add, update, and delete list and library content.
- Read
